Again, I would like to point out.

I am just a lowly video game player, who "knows nothing about video game development" and I created these representations of ways to approach solutions on the fly with very little thought.

So if I can "come up" with ideas such as to add "Hard mode" and "Very Hard mode" and add these options to the menu, in a matter of seconds with very little thought, I can only imagine what the development team, who are experienced experts, could come up with, if they had as much of a burning passion for FFXIV as I do.

Hopefully this instills creativity, and passion, as that is the aim here. Not to say "oh my ideas are perfect, please use them."

"I know nothing about what's actually involved in game dev, but I honestly believe my completely uneducated opinion on the difficulties of adding this things I threw at the wall with no ability to look at the underlying source code has any validity."

"I know nothing about what's actually involved in game dev, but I honestly believe my completely uneducated opinion on the difficulties of adding this things I threw at the wall with no ability to look at the underlying source code has any validity."

Actually let me respond to this properly.

Your logic. Is really really bad. Like really bad. Horrible in fact.

How?

1. I purposefully said that "I dont know anything" because I knew this would be the argument.

2. Do you take your car to a mechanic to change a flat tire?

I am an individual whom is very well rounded. I dont need to know how to melt metals, run automotive machinery, or the air compression ratio's of a combustion engine to even do more involved work on a motor vehicle beyond changing a flat tire. Such as replacing a starter, alternator, fuses, or even changing and trouble shooting relays. Simply understanding a car, and doing more than driving it and putting gas into it, you will gain a basic understanding of the vehicles functions.

This applies to every thing in life. Computer problems, health issues, financing, everything within someone immediate control, and yes even video games. In fact, I almost never rely on any form of service person. I do all my mechanical work, home repairs, health improvements. I literally had chronic back pain, and within less than 1 year without seeing a doctor or getting medical advice, I was able to address the issue.

I have played other games. I have played version 1.0. I know exactly what Square-Enix is capable of doing and what they arent capable of doing. In fact, I've even been impressed at times. To say "Square-Enix cant do that" just because they havent done it, doesnt mean they cant. Especially, and I stress, especially if its already been done.

So that means that almost no one here is allowed to voice opinion on this forum.

no, people can voice opinions until they say absurd crap like "i, who have never coded in my life, am saying that this coding issue is easy that the devs are lazy for not doing it", which is what op said. opinions are fine. pulling things out of where the sun doesn't shine isn't.

That’s literally what I just said.

Why did you repeat it with no additional information except to be insulting?

Oh. Wait. FFXIV forums. That’s what get people likes.

As for “not knowing about coding” the coding is already there. I almost never suggest something that isn’t, or wasn’t already in the game.

Nice try.

Let me pull up your post again.

Particularly this section: "So if I can "come up" with ideas such as to add "Hard mode" and "Very Hard mode" and add these options to the menu, in a matter of seconds with very little thought, I can only imagine what the development team, who are experienced experts, could come up with, if they had as much of a burning passion for FFXIV as I do."

I'm not sure if you know this, but gloating you don't know anything about a subject and then going "so if it's easy for me it should be easy for them" as a conclusion, it just doubly shows you don't know what you're talking about and that we shouldn't take you seriously in the slightest. Sarcastically writing down "come up" and then claiming you love the game while implying the devs don't share that same passion, well... I'll let you think about whether or not it makes you look good in the slightest.

Was the other guy's post insulting? Yeah, I'll not deny that, but it's more or less putting into words what we're all thinking.

These are solid suggestions thanks for the input! I prefer them integrating removed properties into other abilities, i haven't been enjoying the constant dumbing down of jobs. some jobs lost their identities completely already.
I am familiar with the challenges of implementing these things but the amount of skill juggling they've done could of been compressed in a more efficient way at least for some changes felt like they were to trapped in their own heads to see the big picture. Hoping the next expansion focuses more on improving instead of taking away.

Idk where this started in this thread but lets agree to stop all ad hominem here.
some of the replies seem to coming to gas-light level content, lets be mature here and move on.

I am just going to recap this thread, based on how others post and how I see it.

Daniolaut:
I dont like when things are deleted.

I strongly believe in Square-Enix, and have an understanding of what they are capable of.

I wish to see them more passionate about making the game better in every aspect.

The dev's arent capable of many things, you shouldnt assume they can accomplish things.

You cannot discuss video games if you're not a video game developer, its literally like Brain Surgery. You absolutely must be certified.

You're a bad man, you shouldnt be allowed to talk on the forums troll troll.

This is called a strawman fallacy.
